Sweet Clementine – by Francesca Hughes
Sweet Clementine is constructed by knitting the centre lace square first, which is then cast off.Stitches are then picked up around all four edges and worked in the round. Increased at the corners. Written and charted instruction have been provided for lace centre square and lace panel round border. For Chart Centre Square, all odd rows are Knit. For extra help, put a stitch marker between every lace repeat to keep track of your lace work.
